Oct. 12 “Underground Comics”
Looking through some of these comics it became sort of uncomfortable and very vulgar is some detail. The style can be very blunt in its content in trying to convey what the world is like in a negative light. Characters that are involved show a sense of not caring, no moral value, and a rude nature and personality. The title
this type of genre or style is given now seems to make more sense in realization. The title "Underground Comics", referring to the word Underground, no wonder the content seems to match up with its genre. It's a genre that is so disturbing that it has to be hidden away in a place where its only "Adult" material. Occurring themes seem to appear here, such as the blunt sexual themes and sexual subjects of focus. The author puts this theme out as something he wants the audience to focus on. Mainly the audience and author do not give a crap what people think about what they see or include. Underground Comics say here it is, this is what I think, I do not care about your opinion, this is truth
and this is what the world is accept
it! Personally, it made me feel very uncomfortable and disgusted, but its something I can not change. The world is like this and without the negative stuff, there would not be any positive stuff. The authors of this genre throw out the truth, they do not glamorize out, they joyfully bring it out capturing the adult audience in what they find relatable. Back then this would definitely have been strongly despised. Does the author agree with these points or is he just going along with the crowd? Honestly will never know but either way, it still carries a strong sense of sad truths of this world we live in.
I think that the label of uncomfortable for these comics is very appropriate. Even with such a wide selection like that presented in class, each one will have something to make the individual feel discomfort while viewing it. I find this is kind of interesting because everyone is so different, yet these comics can still reach all individuals and extrapolate a similar response, even thought the uncomfortableness will often derive from a different part from person to person.
